What are the two main types of energy?
Kinetic and Gravitational Potential energy
What is the formula to calculate Kinetic energy?
KE = ½ mv²
What are the two types of potential energy?
Gravitational potential and elastic potential energy
What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
GE = mgh
define mechanical energy
kinetic energy + gravitational energy
what is the law of conservation of energy?
no energy can be created or destroyed
what are three ways that heat can be transferred?
conduction - the transfer of energy from one object to another, Ex - a metal pan on top of the stove.
convection- process of transferring heat through moving liquids or gasses, Ex- when you boil water
radiation- energy that moves without a medium, Ex: sunlight
